Russian Ark

Rating = C+

That this is all shot in one continuous
tracking shot shows why shots from multiple camera angles and good editing
makes a more more understandable and easier to watch. The way the camera was
moved to do sort of virtual cuts was clever. The narrator was an anoying
character. I seldom had any idea what the subtitles were trying to tell me — I
probable needed a seminar on Russian history and the history of the Hermitage
before seeing the movie.
